I kid, I kid. There's still time to redeem yourself, Quill.

@L0RDbuckethead - okay, particularly if you really imagine someone saying all that out loud fairly quickly (& with such earnestness), having the Quill thing right in the middle is damn funny... but, as I just pointed out in my own post, you can't really get mad at Quill without also getting mad at Thor. He blew a legit chance to truly stop Thanos for the sake of having a self-satisfying moment.

@CaptCoulson - pssst... It's just a joke.

You're thinking into it too much.

@L0RDbuckethead - I know! didn't you read the first part of my post? I actually thought it was hilarious.
This way, I got to have a laugh for what it was, while not then completely shutting off the uber-nerd logic part of my lizard brain. I think of it as a win-win for both of us lol

@L0RDbuckethead - also btw, did you really delete your original post not once, but twice, before you "correctly" made that one? only because I had 2 message notifications from you stamped only a minute prior to this in my box that went nowhere. I'm assuming that's what that means.
I'm often kind of fascinated how much people have to 'screw up' in an attempt at a reply post on here before they'll bother to do that.

I don’t hate what they did with him but they could have easily had Thanos overcome the hold Mantis had on him rather have Quill be the one to break it. That would’ve worked better. Bit still, such a minor complaint.

Vigor - 2/5/2019, 2:58 AM
@Supercat6376 - I think it was more realistic this way and added to his character

@Supercat6376 - True...but that would have been too same samey as Thanos had been kicking butt the whole scene. They needed to subdue him in some regard to bring us down a bit...then bring us back up. Standard story telling technique and it fricking worked. I still have shivers over that scene.

Supercat6376 - 2/5/2019, 3:17 AM
@OptimusGrime - yea I definately don’t hate it. I had more of an issue with Nebula trying to attack Thanos with those electric expandable batons. Give her something a bit more powerful than those.

Supercat6376 - 2/5/2019, 3:19 AM
@Vigor - I see what you’re saying. It was minor to me l. I can see why people were upset though. Would I change it ? No. But I can see people’s issue with it. If that’s all that anyone has then I think we all left happy. I’ve re watched the movie more times then I’m comfortable admitting lol
OptimusGrime
OptimusGrime - 2/5/2019, 3:54 AM
@Supercat6376 - yeah..she came weak lol. But to be fair ..he mentioned that when she snuck onto the ship before she was captured... she almost managed to kill him. Not sure how but goes to show she's got something in her locker..apart from a rocking body! She mostly cybernetics....but id still hit it haha

Supercat6376 - 2/5/2019, 4:53 AM
@OptimusGrime - yes she does. I’m into blue skin lmao

I thought it was great because he did something similar when he found out his Dad gave his mum cancer, and it that film everyone loved it
OptimusGrime
OptimusGrime - 2/5/2019, 3:06 AM
@Twenty23Three - Hmm never thought of it like this but yes i guess your right. But i think this weighs more heavily on us because they were sooooo close ...soo soo close and because of one little frick up by quill...which was necessary for story telling purposes...it hurts more. As much as it pains me...its actually good story telling and changed the status of the whole scene.
Vigor
Vigor - 2/5/2019, 3:27 AM
@Twenty23Three - super great point

People took the quill blame thing way too seriously last year. I thought people were at first being tongue in cheek or maybe it was the younger folks really feeling like blame laid at quills feet.
To play into it, I have so many counter points... such as how regardless it wouldn't have worked (thanks to strange knowing all outcomes). And how you could argue it's the avengers fault thanos won because they broke up in civil war; otherwise they would have stopped thanos. Or it's gamora fault for giving up the soul stone to save her sister. I mean you could go on and on about this

Fact is, things occurred as they should have and were meant to. And I know it's just a movie (I'm just playing into this after all), but this is how life works too! Everything happens for a reason

There are no complaints. This isnt a most final battle or a martha scene. The scene hasnt attracted controversy apart from good nature memes online because it was completely in character.

Something that most truly controversial cb scenes were not...

Good, let's he what they have planned for him.
Hulk as well tbh, another storyarc i really disliked.

@Doomsday8888 - hulks story arc isn't complete!,😉

It’s almost like characters are supposed to be flawed
Matador
Matador - 2/5/2019, 5:59 AM
@Vocloz - All Marvel characters are flawed which is why we can relate and feel empathy towards there situations at times.

Spider-Man saves the city on a weekly basis but can't even afford a bus ride.

All the way back to greek dramas, most heroes are fundamentally flawed.

Without flaws, there would be no plot complications...

I think anyone would react like that if you just found out the love of your life is killed by her adoptive father

They spent the first two Guardians films showing that Quill reacts emotionally very irrationally. In the first, he attacked a prison guard, while his hands were bound, over a walk-man (sentimental for his mother). In the second, he attacked his father with a couple of PISTOLS, AFTER (I think) learning that he's a CELESTIAL, because he caused his mother's cancer. Extremely irrational, no-win situations. But his emotions drive him, not logic. So it was completely in character for him to react the way he did against Thanos, and I never faulted him for it.

CaptCoulson - 2/5/2019, 3:43 AM
meh... I mean strictly speaking, if you wanna get THAT specific (& arguably nitpicky) about it, surely Dr Strange could've relatively easily reversed that "error" of an action by Quill with the Time Stone at that point, if it really was that detrimental. It's almost as if we were blatantly told that Strange saw literally the only way in the entire universe they had a chance of ultimately defeating Thanos, so everything from that moment on had to play out a particular way... lol (seeing as how there WAS then a moment a little bit later where he DID step in, the sparing of Tony's life, when Thanos was definitely getting the stone anyway)

Besides, pretty much the same argument could be made against Thor. If he hadn't been so hell bent on getting to have on smug final moment in Thanos' face after he'd dealt the "fatal blow", he could've killed him before the Snap was fired.

Human-like characters being so human-y... ya know, flawed, making terrible mistakes.

As frustrating as it was, it was well within character for Peter to act they way he did.
